Child Support

Alabama Rule of Judicial Administration 32, known commonly as Rule 32, details the calculation of child support. Even though this calculation is fairly straightforward, an experienced Alabama child support lawyer can guide you through the process.

While it is true that the Rule 32 calculation of child support is formulaic, there are several variables that an experienced attorney must fill out correctly so an accurate number is reached. At the office of Brad J. Latta, Attorney at Law, we strive to educate our clients on the variables in the Rule 32 equation, including:

Health care needs

Gross income

Health insurance premiums

Child care costs

Split custody

Even with these variables and the straightforward nature of the child support calculation, individuals sometimes find it necessary to deviate from the Rule 32 number. Deviations are possible, but there must be a very compelling reason for the change. Reasons for deviating include:

Extraordinary costs of transportation for purposes of visitation

College education expenses
